Zhang Ziyi Gossip

Wong Kar-Wai’s The Grandmaster (now presented by Martin Scorsese) screened in New York last night. The director and his stars, Zhang Ziyi and Tony Leung, were there with Susan Sarandon and Samuel L Jackson. As you know, like a proper Hong Kong girl, I LOVE Tony Leung. And he looks so great in this black suit. Full Story

Zhang Ziyi showed up with short hair last night at the Palais in Cannes and I recoiled in horror. The hair. It looked like she’d chopped it, and I was all ready to write an article today, finally with photo accompaniment, about why it’s hard for Chinese girls to do the pixie because of the way it grows out spikey and straight up out our heads.

Tony Leung is 50 now!
That kinda just... it came up fast.
There was a time I wanted to marry Tony Leung. Most girls growing up in Hong Kong homes did. He was Hong Kong’s most popular television actor. He had just starred in a very popular tv series called Police Cadet. In Canada, back then, before they figured out how to watch everything illegally, we would wait and wait and wait for the video cassettes to arrive at the Chinatown rental shoppes. Full Story

Many of you have been emailing about this story. To truly appreciate it though, maybe a general backgrounder on what it means to be a Chinese entertainer...?
There’s a reason my ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, thinks actresses are whores. It’s because in Chinese Asia, they almost always are. Full Story

No clue what Zhang Ziyi was doing at Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy party but Hello Kitty Chinagirl should have stayed home… You know how North Americans have that expression about trailers? You can take the girl out of the trailer park but… blah blah blah? My mother has one about Chinese people and the Village. Full Story

At the Fendi Great Wall of China fashion show – Zhang Ziyi and Kate Bosworth in super high fashion, black tights, and lots of leg. Barring the thought that something may have died in the making and hoping that it’s faux, am all over both looks. Especially ZZ’s boots. Yum. Wow. Kate Bosworth is a stunner. Full Story
